Ever wonder why buying as a business gets you white-glove treatment while buying as an individual gets you a 1-800 number? This episode unpacks the invisible tiered system that governs B2B account management — from self-service portals to corporate embassies. We explore the precise spend thresholds that unlock dedicated account managers across industries, from industrial supply to enterprise SaaS, and why the math of margin and labor costs determines who gets a human being and who gets a chatbot. Plus: how savvy individuals can game the system by meeting minimum order quantities.
